My ipod 4g is in recovery mode but itunes wont restore it please help

it is now a block after going in recovery mode as itunes wont recover it as it stopped in the middle of the process saying it cant find a file.

This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
Is this the case...?

  • Ipod Touch 3G is stuck in recovery mode, but Itunes wont recognize it.

    Hey,
    yesterday evening, I updated to iTunes 10 and then after that updated my Ipod touch to the latest OS 4.0.2. somewhere along the way during my ipod updating, the cord got pulled out of my PC and I quickly plugged it back in. but it said there was an error during the installation and now my ipod is stuck in recovery (shows the logo and then the itunes and usb screen. it is recognized by my pc just fine, but says its in recovery mode. yet my itunes will not recognize that it is plugged in at all. So I can't even try and fix the problem via itunes. there seems to be nothing to do. Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

    I am having the same problem. I think it has something with iTunes and not just the PC.

  • My iPhone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. Please help me!

    My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode since I tried a restore Before that it kept powering on and powering off eratically and lingered on the white apple screen. I thought an install would help. Retore attempts always fail, I get the message "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)." Please help me!

    Would it make any difference if the restore was to a back up or to factory settings?
    Yes, if your backup is somehow corrupted, restoring to that backup will put the problem back to the iPhone.
    Restore as new and manually put back your content is the preferred method.
    Also the restore cuts out and fails when the restore is at the stage of 'verifying with apple'. Is there any reason apple wouldn't 'authorise' a restore?
    When restoring, the IOS will be verified with Apple server.
    Are you using PC? If so, disable anti-virus and firewall then try again.

  • IPod touch 3g stuck in recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect it.

    I tried several times to update the software on my ipod, but each time was interrupted by my computer going to sleep (pc, Windows 7).  Now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes doesn't detect it at all.  The ipod also won't turn off.  I have tried all the troubleshooting here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US.  Please, does anyone else have any ideas?  TIA

    Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here.  It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

  • My ipod is stuck in recovery mode i try to restore it but when it finishes nothing happens

    my ipod is stuck in recovery mode i try to restore it but when it finishes nothing happens

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

    When I updated my iTunes software, I connected my Ipod to my laptop to charge. By default, it opened iTunes. Immediately upon doing so, my nano flashed and displayed the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore". I followed the instructions to reset, but to no avail, the message never disappears. However, if this helps at all, when attempting to reset the nano, the nano turns off, the apple logo displays, then returns to the same message. I do not want to "restore" my nano unless absolutely necessary since I'll lose everything I have stored on it. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks for reading.

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

  • I tried to follow the steps in recovery mode but itunes still can't detect it

    i tried to follow the steps in recovery mode but itunes still can't detect it.
    Ok ok. It did work the first time, however the phone got disconnected so then the phone turned itself on again.
    I tried to repeat the same steps again but it did not show the itunes logo. It just turned on and went to the lock screen.
    I did this for about 4-5 times. Each trial ending up with the same result.
    So what i did, once the phone was connected to itunes i clicked the update button and waited for HOURS to finish the update.
    It did restart and did whole other things. But it stopped and a black screen appeared with a text saying Iphone is disabled. Connect to iTunes.
    Any suggestions on what to do next? I'm seriously feeling so frustrated right now.
    So in case you didn't get it my phone was disabled after entering the wrong password too many times. Tried fixing it but it seemed to get worse.
    Really desperate here.

  • My iPod Touch is in Recovery Mode and iTunes Won't Detect It ?

    iPod Touch 4G
    iOS 5.1
    Purchased 2010
    I Opened Up iTunes and Upgraded to iOS 5.1.1 from 5.1 as a "Download Only". The Next Morning I Go To My Computer Plug In My iPod and Update. My iPod Then Goes into Recovery Mode and When I Quit Recovery mode It goes straight to recovery mode again with and without the cable. iTunes does not detect it when i plus it in and neither does my computer, i have tried restarting apple mobile support and that does not work. The nearest apple store is 20 miles but i could go there.

    See if you can kick it out of recovery mode with RecBoot.
